cells, fiber, and extracellular matrix. Connective tissue is a huge part of tendons, ligaments, joints, and even muscle.
There is no fibrous connective tissue in bone, but there is dense irregular tissue known as periosteum that covers bones (all except the articulating surfaces) and provides attachment sites for tendons and ligaments.
Bones are hard, dense structures that provide support and protection for the body. Joints are where two or more bones come together and allow for movement. Connective tissue is a type of tissue that holds and connects different body structures together, including bones and joints.
ligaments
Ligaments. Ligaments are strong bands of dense connective tissue that connect bones together in joints, providing support and stability.
Fibrous connective tissue is known as matrix. Matrix helps to connect joints and enables movement of the joints. If this becomes damaged, the joint or limb may become unusable.
The hard connective tissue that provides a smooth surface in joints is called cartilage. Cartilage helps to cushion and protect the ends of bones in joints, allowing for smooth movement and reducing friction.
